This is a unicomp model m 122 key. Adding some SSK blue for the time being. Not sure if I'm going to stick with the light gray or I'm going to move to Pearl or Pebble in the near future.

Tried to post this one last night I guess I forgot the images. This is also a former Unicomp medical keyboard. It's light gray although it looks slightly khaki in the photo.

Just finished putting this one together. It's another custom paint job with custom keys. Started life as a medical keyboard.
Not sure if this is my favorite new one or not.

2nd one that I put together today. Let paint cure for a few days before polish and sealant.
Was a Medical Model M, GE branded
Unprinted pearl/pebble keycaps from model f keyboards.
May need a new number lock sticker. Tried to reuse the original.

Started life as a Unicomp medical keyboard. Did my standard prep which includes lots of initial scuffing with a green scrubby pad, then some sanding, then adhesion promoter, primer, paint, polish.
This is one of four that I've painted this week, and the first one that I've put together.
Features the SSK Blue keycaps from Model f keyboards, takes about 2 months to get those.

Here is another custom paint job I finished recently. Was a quiet touch but replaced the innards with a buckling spring who's original body is about to get a dark green paint job.

Not sure if this is of any interest to others here, but I was playing around with making a webui utilizing the images that I found on deskthority
If others are interested, I am more than willing to publicly host the WebUI, as I figure not every model M lover is a Linux User.
Also if there are other trace/membrane maps that others have access to I can add them to the app. In particular the IBM M122 and newer unicomp membranes which seem to have only one ribbon cable. Ideally in text or csv format
The repo is here - https://github.com/christopherpaquin/Model-M-Keyboard-Troubleshooting-Tool
Below is a screenshot. This "should" show you the exact ribbon cable positions used by the letter "V", as well as all the other keys on the two traces. I have yet to QA the map, so it may need some correcting.
